Negotiations for Control in
Africa.
England and Gentoany Still
Coqueting.
Emperor Wlliara Loses Patience
and Takes Matters into
His Own Hands.
(Copjrrljht, 1KW, by the New York Associated
rreis.
Berlin, May 31. Emperor 'William
today for tho first time since Inst Sun
day's accident hobbled nbout his room
on crutches. Several of tho smaller
bones of the ankle were broken and the
whole leg is contused. Tho doctors
insist on his taking a longer rest.
Throughout tho week the emperor has
kept his secretary and ministers
actively at work. Ho was displeased at
tho delays in tho negotiations with
England in regard to Africa and took
entiro control of the matter. After sev
eral conferences with tho British
ambassador and heads of tho Colonial
department, proposals were fixed upon
which it is thought will prove accep
table to Lord Salisbury.
Briefly they are that tho German
sphere shall extend to the limits of tho
Congo State from the northern extremity
of Tanganyika to Albert Nyanza; that
the Unganda and British Unvoro shall
bo neutral ground and that the naviga
tion of tho lakes shall be free.
Tho British ambassador evidently
thought these bases good enough to
justify a resumption of tho discussion as
he has received Lord Salisbury's with
drawal of tho matter. A long struggle
is expected over tho matter.
Major Wisaman comes about June
15th and Dr. Peters early in July, each
loaded down with facts and reasons in
support of the German claims.
AHOUT THE SOCIALISTS.
Tho inner stato of siego ends in
Leipsic on Juno 28, and if the govern
ment does not renew it tho fnct will
signalizo a determination of tho authori
ties to cease special Socialist enactments
throughout the country. According to
the Socialist Volksblatt, the Saxony gov
ernment has asked the Bundczrath to
prolong the law. This demand has
aroused tho Emperor, who desires to
place before the Bundczrath data in
Bupport of a non-renewal of the
measure. The official tendency here
now is in accordance with the
Emperor's desire to give tho Socialists
"freer breath." The Bundezrath's as
sent to ermit the Socialist law to expire
is doubtful.
The Hamburger Nuchrichten predicts
an inevitable insurrection when the re
straints on the roletariat are removed.
It asserts that when tho guns have
spoken God knows what will hapen.
Perchance bloodshed following a revolt
will have a salutary influence upon the
Social organization, but it is certnin that
a renewal of tho repressive measures
will bo pitiless. Otherwiso trouble will
again ariso and the gangreen of Social
ism may rot even tho army.
iusmakck's influence.
Tho Nachrichten doubtless reflects Bis
marck's opinion, which continues to in
fluence members of the Bundezroth.
Bismarck in his speech to the delegates
to the Polytechnic Academies who
presented him with an address
reminded them of the value of
the idea of unity permeating Germany.
People who ascribed to him praise
that unity could only lo established by
blood and iron misunderstood his pay
ing. What he meant was that tho King
at that time ought to have as much
power as possible in order that in case
of need ho might throw all the blood
and iron into tho scale. Fortun
ately Germany had got past
that now and "the greatest fortune
for the country was peace. Ho did not
believe a German emperor would ever
look upon a map with a Napoleonic lust
of conquest in his heart.
THE HI'IIIE FINISHED.
The ceremony of placing tho last
stono on tho spiroof Ulm cathedral took
place today, amid the ringing of bolls
and general rejoicing. It is five hundred
and thirty feet in height, the highest in
the world.

the Contract Labor Law.
New York, May 31. Tho leading
lights of tho Mormon church are in a
state of anxiety over the question of tho
admittance of a thousand or moro con
verts who will arrive next week.
Elder Cannon and others had a long

i nspectors, and assured the officials that
no Mormons were imported under con
tract. All came on purely religious
grounds, and no effort was being made
by tho church to havo them come hero
otherwiso.
After much talk it was decided not to
detain any, but to tako full memoranda,
and afterward should an investigation
disclose any contract caso, the people
could oo easily readied. The .biciers

prints a sensational story affecting
prominent officials of the Northern Pa

Northern Pacific officials ana two op
erators, it is supposed at the instance of
a still higher official, who. it is claimed,

the Oakland railway officials n short
time after the accident occurred.
Close watch was kept all night on the
scene of the disaster. Early this morn

ing San Francisco and who they feared
might be on the ill-fated passenger train.

to get tho car upon tho beach. Several
divers made as thorough search of
the car as they were able but found no
bodies and are positive none remain
therein.

was received this morning that they had
received a telegram stating that Dunn
was well and Bafe.

railway, said today that he had met
Engineer Dunn and Fireman O'Brien
and tho rest of the crew of the ill-fated
train of Friday and had made
a most thorough inquiry into
the circumstances of the accident
as far as they knew them. He wished,
however, to be excused from saying
anything at all alwut the results of the
inquiry before the coroner's jury should
render its verdict, as ho did not want to
do anything to influence its action
either way, as far as cither tho train
men or the company was concerned.

ALABAMA DEMOCRATS.
THE OIIKAT DEADLOCK AT LAST
JSUOICKN.
The Usual Resolutions ltcalllrinlnc Alleg
iance to tho Party of Jefferson, Jack
son and Oroi rr Cleveland,
Montgomery, Ala., May 31. The
three days deadlock in the Democratic
convention was broken today and
Colonel Thomas G. Jones was nominated
for Governor.
The platform adopted reaffirms allegi
ance to the principles of the Democratic
party as promulgated by Jefferson,
defended by Jackson and maintained 1)'
Grover Cleveland. It holds that
interference on the part of tho Federal
government in the selection of
Senators and Reprcntatives in Congress
is a usurpation of its powers and un
warranted by tho constitution.
Unalterable opposition to tho present
high tariff is declared, and a liberal and
thorough system of public schools
favored.
It further declaiea that the welfare of
the entire people of tho state,
without regard to race or color, depends
upon the continued administration
of public affairs by the Democratic party,
which alone combines the intelligence,
experience and virtue necessary to per
petuate the blessings of free government
therein and that a continuation in power
of that party is the highest duty of all
white men.

occurred on Frank Bell's place on the
middle river. The break is 100 feet
wide and cannot be closed. Roberts Is
land, middle division, is all right so far
nnd is the only safe reclamation work in

believed it cannot be saved when the

against the cross levee.
PARNELL'S REASONS
FOIt OPPOSING IIALFOUIPS LAND
I'UKCIfAHK HILL.
He Fully Net Forth the Injustice of the
Measure In nil Able Artlclo In the
North American llevlew.
New Yohk, May 31. The North
American Review has an article by
Parnell stating the Irish party's objec
tion to Balfour's Irish land purchase
bill.
Parnell characterizes the measure as
"insufficient nnd dishonest." Insuffi
cicnt because it would not reach
more "than one out of every four
Irih tenants and then there
would be many in tho favored minority
who have no right or claim to enjoy the
benefits of lsnd purchased at the ex
pense of the state.
Jt would take upwards of 100,000,000
to enable all the Irish tenants enti
tled to do so to become owners
of their holdings. Tho State would
never advance the past sum necessary
for this purpose as everyone concedes
that 33,000,000 is the utmot
sum tho British tax-payers can be in
duced to guarantee.
The Irish party hold therefore that
the land act of Mr. Balfour should first
be bo amended as to secure tenants
improvements from the infliction of
rent. Great abuses have attended the
working of the land purchase measure;
resources are being scandalously mis
spent, while the question is left un
solved. More open and grosser favorit
ism has never been shown than in the
selection of estates for whose purchase
advances of the public money are
to lie made.
Up to December 31, 1888, 530 owners
sold their estates to tenants for 3,703,
000. Of these 530 owners thirty
four walked off with 2,251,000 pounds.
This is not the manner in which
the question should be settled.
Other objections are set forth. The
consideration, Parnell says, which
influenced him as largely as any
thing else in opposing the measure is the
existence of coercion in Ireland which
renders it impossible for teucnts to con
tract freely with their landlords in ar
ranging terms of sale.

il
Opposes Bonded Ware
houses for Farmers.
Believes They Would Tend
to Centralization.
Attributes All Depression to Protec
tion and Cries Aloud for His
Pet Hobby, Free Trade.
Washington, May 31. Senator Car
lisle has written a letter to B. F.
Howard, of Tuskegee, Ala., in response
to a request for his views upon the bill
providing for a system of government
warehouses for farm products upon
which products treasury notes can be
issued. The Senator says: "In the
begining, the statement of Mr. Howard
and his associates, that they are
in favor of equal justice to
all and special favors to none
embodies sound Democratic doctrine,
and if it had been strictly adhered to
in Congress the past twenty five years
the evils of which the farmers and
others justly complain would haye been
avoided and the whole country would
now be prosperous and contented.
"The farmers have been taxed so long
for the benefit of other classes and seen
so much legislation for the aggrandize
ment of corporations and syn
dicates that their patience is
exhausted 'and they are now
demanding that the very policy which
they have heretofore denounced as un
just aud ruinous shall be applied to
them, or, rather, to a part of them,
for no scheme yet suggested would op
erate alike upon all farmers. But no
evil can tie corrected by increasing its
magnitude and extending the scope of
its operations. Thero is but one effectual
remedy for the evil which undoubtedly
exists, and that is to reverse the policy
which produced it."
The Senator, after reviewing the
features of tho proposed sub-treasury
plan and noting the fact that the farm
ers themselves will pay more than their
fair share of the cost of erecting ware
houses, and that the officers connected
with them will be partU.wi of the
administration in power, savs:
"Not more than one-third of the
2800 counties in the United States,
if that inanv. produce nnd sell
annually more than $500,000 worth
of agricultural products, and in a
great majority of cases the farmer
will never lie able to redeem his deposited
products but will Imj forced to lose the
remaining t enty per cent of their value
or sell his ware lioui-c receipts for what
ever he can get for them, which will lc
very little, for it must be remembered
that after he gets his ware house re
ceipts he has a remaining interest of
only twenty per cent., less the
charges for interest, storage, etc.,
and this is all he can dispose of.
He will find tho time rapidly approach
ing when he must have money to re
deem his products or sell his small
remaining interest or allow them to be
sold at miblic.auctionbvthecocrnment
and this will be the golden oppoi tunity of
speculators whose agents will swarm all
over the country leady to take receipts
from embarrassed owners for u merely
nominal sum."
Senator Carlisle argued at length
to show that the plan proposed
would produce an annual expansion
and contraction of the currency
which would result in absolutely des
troying the market upon which the
farmer must depend for the sale of his
crops. "No such facilities as this pro
ject will afford for controlling the mar
kets for purely speculative purposes,"
bays he, "have ever existed in this or
any other country and no more perfect
system for the oppression of the poor
could be devised." In conclusion Sena
tor Carlisle says that even if it could be
conclusively " shown that this or
any similar scheme would be
pecuniary beneficial to any particular
class of people he would tifl le unalter
ably opposed to it because in his
opinion it would le another wide aud
dangerous departure from the principles
upon which our political institutions are
founded. It would in fact hi the long
est step yet taken in time of peace to
ward consolidation of power in the fed
eral government and the subjugation of
private affairs of the people to the con
trol of a central and irresponsibleau
thority. NEW FAST LINEK.
The Normnnla Comes Into Collision With
an Iceberg.
New York, May 31. The Normania,
the latest addition to the Hamburg
American Packet line, arrived yesterday
from Hamburg and Southampton. Her
time from Queenslown to New York
beat the record for maiden voyages,
six days, five hours and one minute.
From Southampton her times was six
days, twenty-one hours and fifty
minutes.
No particular effort was made at fast
time, but Commander Ebych thinks
that when the effort is made sho will
prove the fastest vessel afloat. In a fog
on Tuesday she had a slight coll
ision with an iceberg, which her
commander thinks would have been
serious had it not been for her
double screw. When the iceberg was
sighted from the starboard the engine
was reversed and she was put ahead
at full speed witli rudder hard apart.
The effect was to swing the vessel around
within her own length, and she skim
med by the iceberg with a slight col
lision, two plates being cracked and tho
rail damaged. The passengers hardly
felt the shock.
